Simple Man

I am a simple man, and I'm on my way

To whatever lies ahead while ageing day by day

And I don't know where I'll be next

Or if I'll be at all, I'm not privy to life's protocol

And I'm not seeking gold, I don't look for fame

That's all in my past now, it's another game

Though I no longer need the things I did before

I can't help but think there's so much more

Tell me what you're thinking

This I want to know

Maybe you could stay

I am so alone

Lay down, lay you down upon this bed

I feel heavy, and the night is taking over

There's no moon up in the sky

We can sleep until it's light

Let the darkness be our blanket

I'm no sinner man, though I make mistakes

Weaving in and out of touch and doing what it takes

To be lucid, warm, and happy whenever I can

It's no promise, but it's my loose plan

Tell me anything, if you'd be so kind

Take me away from this restless mind

Lay down, lay you down upon this bed

Today has been a long and endless journey

If you think that it's all right

We could dream right through this night

Let the darkness be our blanket

You are so composed, you know how to live

True to yourself and always ready to forgive

And you make it seem so easy, almost like it's fun

Must be peaceful when your day is done

The sun is setting once again

It won't be back for hours, so until then

Lay down, lay you down upon this bed

I feel heavy, and the night is taking over

There's no moon up in the sky

We can sleep until it's light

Let the darkness be our blanket

Hey, lay down, lay you down upon this bed

Today has been a long and endless journey

If you think that it's alright

We could dream right through this night

Let the darkness be our blanket

Lay down
